Although most of us send many emails every day, how many of us take time to indulge in the classic correspondence of letter writing? Everybody loves to receive post (particularly if it's not a bill) and a beautifully decorated envelope is always welcome on my doormat!
Now post could be becoming even chicer as Giles Deacon teams up with luxury stationery company
Smythson due to launch in January.

As
Christmas is fast approaching you're probably beginning to make a wish list and starting to stress about what to buy everybody. There's always that one person on your list who inevitably proves to be difficult as they literally have everything but Sonia Rykiel might just have the answer.
The French designer who recently
celebrated 40 years in the industry has designed this cute Boule de Noel snow globe for the festive season.

It has been
revealed this morning that Alber Elbaz likes coloured pencils so much that he is to release a limited edition set! The box named “20 years of Supracolor by Alber” features a Parisian carrying Lanvin shopping bags. Supracolor’s maker, Swiss company
Caran d’Ache approached Elbaz following a magazine interview which revealed them as his favourite brand.

Last week I featured
bigestivediscuit's handbag and in it she carried one of the chicest ways to be organised, a plain covered London a-z! The Philip's maps are plain so "that passers-by are not aware of the user consulting a map".
It is available in six different colours; red, navy blue, pink, brown, green and grey.

Who can forget that episode of Sex and the City in series 4 when
Carrie takes to the catwalk with Heidi Klum in a pair of gold knickers and blue coat?! In the episode, Carrie completely freaks out about the prospect but she obviously looks fabulous and despite a slight hiccup gets great applause.
So, when I spotted this image in
The Sunday Times Style supplement I couldn't help but share with you
Baby Grand's amazing Swarovski covered gold knickers (from £150).
